New Feature Alert


It’s now easier than ever to see both the author's and the composer's versions of a text!

After more than a year in development, I'm thrilled to announce that we've finally implemented the ability to view "sung texts" with all the modifications by a given composer already applied. Over 10,000 pages will benefit from this improvement. It should especially benefit those of you who need accurate texts for concert programs and CD booklets.

I'm excited to share this new feature with all of you and hope that it enhances your experience on the LiederNet Archive. Take some time to explore and enjoy! — Emily

by Max von Weinzierl (1841 - 1898)

Translations available for the entire opus: ENG 

1. Mond hast du auch gesehen  [sung text not yet checked]

Language: German (Deutsch) 
(Das Mädchen spricht:)
 Mond, hast du [auch]1 gesehen,
   Wie mich mein Schatz geküßt?
 Frei muß ich dir gestehen,
   Daß mich das sehr verdrießt.
 
 Auch weiß ich nicht, wie eben
   [Es]2 gestern Abend kam,
 Ob ich [ihn ihm]3 gegeben,
   Ob er den Kuß sich nahm.

 Du [mußt's]4 nicht weiter sagen,
   Ich bitte dich darum,
 Wenn dich die Leute fragen,
   O lieber Mond, sei stumm!

2. Schilflied  [sung text not yet checked]

Language: German (Deutsch) 
Auf geheimem Waldespfade
Schleich' ich gern im Abendschein
An das öde Schilfgestade,
Mädchen, und gedenke dein!

Wenn sich dann der Busch verdüstert,
Rauscht das Rohr geheimnisvoll,
Und es klaget und es flüstert,
Daß ich weinen, weinen soll.

Und ich mein', ich höre wehen
Leise deiner Stimme Klang,
Und im Weiher untergehen
Deinen lieblichen Gesang.
